A standard tooth veneers cost usually ranges from $ 850 to $ 2,600 per restoration from dentist to dentist. Prices vary based on the background of the cosmetic dentist, location of the country, number of restorations and the challenge of the cosmetic case. When dental composite is used instead of porcelain, the fee dramatically decreases. However, porcelain veneers are undoubtably the very best option since composite can chip and stain with time.

           The tooth veneers cost increases when diagnostic cosmetic procedures are performed. Many patients have special cosmetic problems that should be solved before construction of the restorations. The most common cosmetic procedure is artistic wax study models which assist in visualizing the most ideal and beautiful smile for a patient. This procedure takes time, thought and involves additional costs. These wax creations serve as a model for the final restorations and help guide the dentist with the preparation of the underlying teeth.

           Of course, the tooth veneers cost increases with additional diagnostic procedures. In some cases, diagnostic composite temporary veneers are designed from the wax study model. The patient wears the temporaries and evaluates their look before the final restorations are made. This helps avoid surprises and the patient has a good idea of what the final porcelain veneers will look like. The temporaries can be reshaped and modified until the patient is pleased and when this is achieved, the final restorations can be fabricated.

          The tooth veneers cost is usually paid for by the patient. Almost all dental insurance companies consider porcelain veneers part of elective cosmetic dentistry and do not pay for them.
